With over 4,000 trees, a lake, a meadow, and rose gardens horse-riding paths and more, it’s easy to forget you’re in central London. There are many species of birds, butterflies, and water birds.

There are four cafés and restaurants: The Dell, with views of the Serpentine; The Lido Café; The Hyde Park Tennis Centre Café; and Speakers Corner Kiosk. Several refreshment kiosks are located in the park.

review of Hyde Park
London’s lung: Speaker’s Corner, paddle boats, and ice creams, and, to the West, the more stately Kensington Gardens – acre upon acre of slavish devotion to the cult of Diana.
Visit London review of Hyde Park
What could be more romantic than a leisurely row on the Serpentine in Hyde Park? During the summer rowing boats and pedalos cost just £5 per hour to hire and you can even go fishing if you have a license. After you have finished on the water, take a walk around the stunning park which also deserves a look.

Very Nice Park
We were there in October and the fall colors were beautiful. Kensington Palace is at one end, and the Wellington Arch is at the other. We walked from one end to the other, which was quite pleasant. There's a lake with lots of swans and geese. Plenty of trails for walking, running, or biking. The Albert Memorial near the middle of the park is lovely.
If you're nearby and have some time to spare or want to get a little exercise, I recommend checking Hyde Park out.

Great place for a rest.
After spending our first full day in London sightseeing (walking from Oxford street, over to picadilly, on the tube to the London Eye, over the bridge to Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, back to Harrods, then over to Hyde Park for a break.) We found a Bench along the water and sat for an hour or so. Beautiful place to relax and let the mind unwind. If you like to people watch there is plenty of that to do as well. Also if you enjoy birds there are plenty of them too. I also found the riding trail inside the park very neat, people riding there horses in the middle of London. If you get up early enough you can see the Queens mounted Police taking there horses for a ride. A much needed break in the middle of London.

Beautiful in Spring!!!!
Although this is a very large park, it is well worth a stroll through. We, my sister, my brother & myself, just returned from an April trip to London. This park, as well as all the others, is exquisitely landscaped. There are several different paths you can take, I suggest the walk along the Serpentine. At the brigde that crosses it you can see the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain with the Lido Restaurant beside it on the bank. After that head west toward Kensington, the birds around the Round Pond are regal. Lots of room for all kinds of activities or just take a bench & relax!!!

Nice place to relax
After a always busy oxford street, it is lovely to sit back and relax in Hyde Park. There are deck chairs avaliable for rent and lots of grass to relax. After a day of shopping, I sat on the grass and read my book. Its really amazing having such a huge park in the middle of London!

Summer Time In Hyde Park
Last summer (2004), I spent at least one day a week lying around in Hyde Park with my girlfirend, just talking and watching the day go by. I have never had such a good time in my life. You might assume that it is just a big park and that there is not much to do. However this is so wrong: There is so much to do. We walked around the park for hours, and it was just nice to be somewhere where people will give you your own space and you can just be with someone you love. I know that sounds really cheesy but it is true. I recommend it for young couples who just want to be together but don't necessarilly have that much money. It is also a change to the other carp that you have to do over and over again, for example the cinema. Hope thisreview helps.
